Eighties boyband Bros are getting back together – more than 20 years after they called it a day.

Twin brothers Matt and Luke Goss – who enjoyed a major hit with the track When Will I Be Famous? - will play London's O2 Arena in August next year.

The pair inspired teenagers to wear bottle caps on the shoes in their heyday.

Matt, who has enjoyed a solo career since they split, said: "As the lead singer of the band, my musical connection has always been with Luke. Bros is Matt and Luke."

Bros last played together in 1989 and split in 1992.

Matt recently dismissed speculation about a reunion, saying: "Bros is always surrounded by rumours. I think if it was going to happen it would come out of my mouth and my brother's mouth."

“The most memorable moments for me in BROS so far is Wembley Stadium and without question our final global tour,” Matt says.

“Both of these experiences were just with Luke and myself. As the lead singer of the band, my musical connection has always been with Luke. BROS is Matt and Luke.”

“Bros has been part of my life for 30 years,” Luke Goss said. “I’m deeply proud of it. Our biggest show was at Wembley Stadium, Bros Into Summer, it was just Matt and I so I feel comfortable saying with great pride that Matt and I are Bros.”

Bros will play the O2 Arena on August 19, 2017.

Tickets go on general sale at 11am October 7, with 02 Arena pre-sale already live. The Live Nation presale takes place at 11am on October 6.
